Chapter 396 Collapse

Yang Miaozhen's eyes turned black, Guo Yaoer's voice rang in her ears, but she couldn't hear it clearly.

After a while, it seemed that Liu Quan was also talking, but she still couldn't hear clearly.

In her mind, she could only think of the scene of her and Yang An'er brother and sister doing saddle material business in Yidu City in the early years.

Their shop is dilapidated, full of the stench of rotten leather, and Yang An'er goes to the mountains to cut wood every few days and comes back to make some saddle materials. She is always disheveled and her hands are cut and bleeding. full meal.At the most difficult time, the house was completely empty, and there was only one clean single garment. Yang An'er was shirtless in the cold weather, so Yang Miaozhen asked Yang Miaozhen to put the single garment on her body and fold it up again.

And the dignitaries and nobles of the Great Jin Kingdom in the city were born with gold spoons in their mouths, pampered and well-clothed all day long.Brother and sister Yang An'er had to kneel on the ground and salute even when they met their slaves.

When the house slaves were slightly dissatisfied, they whipped and kicked, and the strikes were so cruel that they seemed to kill people, and they beat Yang An'er bloody at every turn.And Yang An'er always hid the young Yang Miaozhen in the saddle shop, and asked her to put plaster on her face, so don't come out no matter what.

Later, the situation changed, and Yang An'er gradually became a big man from a peddler, and then from a big man to a traitor.And Yang Miaozhen is no longer the ignorant girl she was back then.

The siblings seem not as close as they used to be, but the friendship remains the same.

Yang Miaozhen remembered that a few days ago, she complained to her elder brother, saying that he should not be at the foot of Moqi Mountain, and that he wanted to marry Dinghai Guo Ning, and everyone knew about it, which made her family lose the face of her daughter's family.

Yang An'er said, he had been thinking about that matter for a long time.In the beginning, it was because he was intimidated by the tyrannical force of the Ding Navy and wanted to use marriage to win him over.Thinking about it now, the only advantage of that matter is that it can leave a way out for the girl.The rebellion this time was very powerful, but it was not like the last time that they could count on recruiting security. If there was any mistake, the enemy army knew that Yang Miaozhen and Dinghai Jiedushi had a marriage contract, so they might show mercy.

Speaking of this, Yang An'er half-jokingly mentioned that at that time, Guo Ning, who is young and heroic, is indeed a good match.

Yang Miaozhen could only purse her lips and say with a smile, we have tens of thousands of people in our hands, even if we win or lose for a while, how can we reach that level?
Now that I think about it, perhaps Yang An'er had already seen the loose nature of the Red Coat Army during the back-and-forth fight with Wanyan Heda, and he already had a premonition of failure, but the situation forced him, so he didn't have time to adjust and make up for it. up.

He just didn't expect that he would be ambushed by the Jin army and die so easily.

Just as Yang Miaozhen didn't expect that one day he would see the rebel soldiers in such a miserable state.

During the reign of Taihe, when Yang An'er raised his army, he was also defeated, but why was he defeated so completely?
At this time, only a hundred or so people gathered around Yang Miaozhen, at least tens of thousands of soldiers fled, and probably tens of thousands were seriously injured and were abandoned in the upper Huaizhou states.It is conceivable that their only end is to be killed, their heads chopped off, and used by the Jurchens to show off their might.And the Red Coat Army in other places will also face fierce battles and massacres.

The elder brother is dead, and there is no way to command them, and the next thing is to flow blood into rivers.

Yang Miaozhen felt a throbbing pain in her heart, and this pain made her wake up suddenly from the drowsiness.

She heard Liu Quan rambling nearby: "There is no way to go to Dongping Mansion, we have to find a way to bypass Pizhou, go to Haizhou, and then go back to Moqi Mountain!"

Bian Shangguo chimed in and said: "Let's hurry up! Si Niangzi, I heard people say that Yang You is also recruiting people along the way these two days. If he arrives at Moqi Mountain first, he will take over the command as Marshal Yang's son-in-law." Subordinates, we all have to listen to him!"

It turned out to be the case.

Most of Yang An'er's former troops who came from Tiewa Ganzhan Army didn't like Yang You's impetuous and arrogant demeanor.This is especially true after Yang You called himself the "Nine Great Kings" and vaguely placed himself above the generals.

Liu Quan and Guo Yao'er came here, not necessarily to meet me, Yang Miaozhen.What's more, he wanted to keep a big banner against Yang You.

It's a bit ridiculous, since the elder brother died, the Red Coat Army, which had been kneaded together temporarily, naturally had no choice but to fall apart.Even if I am willing to stand in the front, how many people can this banner attract?
Li Quan, that clever man, had heard rumors earlier that Guo Ning asked Yang An'er for his head, so he had been staying close to his family's territory in Binzhou and other places for a few months, and he had already become independent.

In terms of strength and appeal, Liu Erzu is actually second only to Yang An'er.But he is indeed a simple person who is recognized as having no ambitions. When he sees that the situation is not right, he thinks of fleeing into the mountains, which is already very sympathetic.

On the contrary, Shi Qing and the others had always had great ambitions, and they probably wanted to recruit a group of deserters, to become the local emperors of Tengzhou and Yanzhou first, and then take advantage of the momentum to rise up.

As for Fang Guosan and Zhan Hui, one is an upstart and the other is an old man, they can't get along at all.It was precisely because they couldn't get along that Yang An'er kept them stationed in Dongping Mansion, just to check and balance each other.But they never imagined that when they heard the news of Yang An'er's death, they would fight immediately.

There are others, presumably at this time also...

As if a flash of lightning flashed across the dark night, Yang Miaozhen suddenly thought of something.

She raised her hand and said sharply, "Wait!"

Liu Quan and Guo Yao'er stopped talking and looked at each other in astonishment.

After a while, Yang Miaozhen asked: "Brother passed away the day before yesterday, right?"

"Yes."

"We moved to Huaishang. The battlefield is 650 miles away from Jeju, 550 miles away from Dongping Mansion, [-] miles away from Teng County, and thousands of miles away from Binzhou. On the way, there are still constant battles. I just learned of my brother's death. Liu Erzu of Jeju, Fang Guosan and Zhan Hui from Dongping Mansion, Shi Qing from Tengzhou, and Li Tieqiang from Binzhou, how could they know?"

Yang Miaozhen raised her voice suddenly, and asked, "Uncle Bite, you are from Pizhou, right? When did the news of their rebellion reach Pizhou?"

"Shi Qing's action was two days ago, and the news from Jeju, Dongpingfu, and Binzhou arrived in the early hours of yesterday..." At this point, Guo Yaoer violently punched his thigh: " There is a ghost here!"

Guo Yao'er and a few subordinates rushed from Pizhou to Suzhou overnight, bumped into Yang An'er and died, his mind was in a daze for a while, but when Yang Miaozhen said this, he also reacted.

Those parties had already started to turmoil before Yang An'er died!There must be ghosts in this, someone created this turbulent situation!The looseness of the Red Coat Army has resulted in too much space for others to make plans inside. This time, the Red Coat Army is intact and fell into other people's schemes. Even if Yang An'er is still there, they will lose completely!
"Who is it? Who is it?" Guo gritted his teeth and asked.

Of course I don't know right now.But he knew very well that he just had to watch, whoever was the first to intervene in Shandong when the Red Coat Army was in turmoil to grab benefits would be the one who cooperated with Sui Wang Wanyan Shouxu and his group on Nanjing Road to carry out their schemes.

There are no more than two families who have this ability and willingness: Hebei Xuanfu envoy San Anzhen, and Dinghai Guo Ning.

"We have to go back to Moqi Mountain as soon as possible, but we must recruit as many people as possible along the way, otherwise, when we go back to the mountain, we will just sit and wait for death."

The dark cliffs and trees reflected Yang Miaozhen's pale face and bloodshot eyes.

Her tone became icy cold, as if a cold spring in the mountains had suddenly emerged: "Uncle Bite, the Jin army camps at night, and the field must be empty. You take two or thirty people, and now go out to search for men. If you have horses, bring them all." Come back. You have to act quickly and be ruthless, and don’t want the wounded or anything.”

"Fourth lady, let's..."

When Guo Yaoer said this, facing Yang Miaozhen's fierce eyes, he was a little scared, and quickly cupped his hands and said, "I'll do it now."

"Uncle, go and send an order to gather all the soldiers inside and outside the canyon."

Liu Quan stood up on his knees: "I'll go right away!"

When Liu Quan was circling outside the canyon to give the order to gather, Yang Miaozhen had already completely dispersed nearly a hundred soldiers brought by him and Guo Yaoer, and formed a team with the nearby rout soldiers.

Yang Miaozhen's own family served as Qian Jurisdiction, and the generals, lieutenants, captains, chiefs, chiefs, and other names under him were appointed according to their aptitude, controlled at all levels, and organized.

The defeated soldiers brought back by Liu Quan were also formed into a team by her, and she appointed Liu Quan as the temporary governor in front of everyone.Immediately, everyone rested on the spot according to the new arrangement.

In the early hours of the morning, Guo Yaoer came back with dozens of horses and several knights, and Yang Miaozhen woke up immediately.She inquired about the news from the outside world to each of the returned knights, condolences to their hardships, and also organized them into a team, with Guo Yaoer as the temporary commander.

When she gave orders, she was extremely decisive, and because she was familiar with the soldiers, every appointment was convincing, even compared to experienced generals.
